Your Dell computer has eight drive bays for installing the following types of drives (see Figure 10-1): The externally accessible drive bays at the front of the computer consist of one 3.5-inch drive bay (dedicated to a 3.5-inch slimline diskette drive) and three 5.25-inch bays that can hold up to three half-height, 5.25-inch devices-typically tape drives or CD-ROM drives. Alternately, 3.5-inch devices can be installed in the 5.25-inch bays using adapters available from Dell. The four-bay hard-disk drive cage below the externally accessible bays can hold up to four 1-inch or up to two 1-inch and two 1.6-inch hard-disk drives installed vertically. The drives must be either enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE) hard-disk drives or small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drives. The next three sections contain information that you will need in several of the installation procedures described later in the chapter. The remaining sections of this chapter cover each type of drive installation. NOTE: In all of the following procedures, left and right refer to your left and right as you face the front of the computer. Installing Drives 10-1
